Description
Lithograph poster circa 1900 by Strobridge Lithograph Company advertising William H West's Big Minstrel Jubilee show. Minstrel shows consisted of comic skits, variety acts, dancing and music which were often performed by white people in blackface. They lampooned black Americans and tended to portray them as ignorant, lazy, superstitious and buffoonish – perpetuating the racist stereotype of the uneducated, always cheerful and highly musical black person. Minstrel shows grew up in the 1830s with white working class men dressing up as plantation slaves and survived as professional entertainment until the early years of the twentieth century. In their heyday the shows were famous and respectable but they are now regarded by many as a racist and shameful era in American popular entertainment.
